KUALA LUMPUR: The Myanmar Ambassador to Malaysia last week broke fast with Muslims from the country, a “historic” occasion for some as relations between Buddhist and Muslims in the country have been tense over the past few years.

On Friday last week, U Zaw Myint attended a “buka puasa” dinner session with about 80 Myanmar Muslims at a restaurant in Ampang. The dinner was organised by the Myanmar Muslim Association of Malaysia.
